Body of medium size, somewhat flattened dorsoventrally (Fig. 1 ). Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs covered with white short bent procumbent pubescence and sub-erect setae; first antennal segment sparsely clothed with erect setae, second to fourth segments densely clothed with procumbent pubescence; fore femur and tibia ventrally clothed with dense short setae (Figs 1 , 2 ). Head width subequal to or slightly shorter than length; interocular space more than 2 x interocellar space; rostrum robust, first segment subequal to second and third segments together in length (Fig. 2b, c ). Anterior pronotal lobe basally centrally sulcate and laterally with shallow arc-shaped glabrous area; middle part of posterior pronotal lobe somewhat concaved; lateral pronotal angles acutely produced, short (Figs 1a , 2a ). Fore wing surpassing abdominal tip by 0.7 mm (Fig. 1 ). Male genitalia . Pygophore oblong, median pygophore process bifid with acute angles (Fig. 3a, b ); paramere clavate, slightly curved, middle part twisted (Fig. 3a-c ); basal plate of phallobase longer and thicker than basal plate bridge, pedicel short (Fig. 3d, e ). Phallosome elliptical (Fig. 3e-g ); dorsal phallothecal sclerite well sclerotized, apical part concave, lateral arm subequal to strut in length (Fig. 3e ); apical part of endosome armed with a pair of leaflike sclerites (Fig. 3e, f ).
